Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Martyr President: Our Grief and Our Duty The Gospel for toe pat from the 24th Chapter of Luke was read. These badges of mourning, in the Sanctuary to-day, direct our thoughts to the terrible tragedy which has rilled our city, our whole land, with sorrow. And though this be our Communion season, I feel that the improvement of this sad Providence furnishes the theme of discourse to-day. I am inadequate to the occasion My heart has been well nigh paralyzed by the startling Providence. I feel that I am in deep sympathy with you, and with the loyal heart of this entire land. Even treason will blush with shame at this assassination. I would prefer to be silent today - to commingle my tears with those of the stricken household - with the tears of the great American people. I would prefer to hear others speak - to be still, and suffer God alone to speak; but rebelliou and treason have culminated in the murder of our beloved and noble Chief Magistrate. This is not the time to be silent. I would be untrue to you, untrue to myself as a citizen of this great Republic, as an Ambassador of truth, a servant of Christ, untrue to the promptings of my own deeply moved heart, unworthy the confidence and love you have ever reposed in me, did I fail to speak forth the words of truth and soberness. This is resurrection day; the day upon which the Church, during all her history, commemorates the rising from the grave of Him, who, but the third day before, had been crucified. In this drapery we have combined here to-day the emblems of sorrow and of joy. Nature is putting on her Easter robes - the grass is beginning to spring forth, the buds to swell, the leaves are unfolding, and the trees are covered with their varied blooms.
